Business Research: Methods and Strategy

This book has been developed to satisfy a niche within the market research community. Summaries of varied market research techniques cover surveys, focus groups, interviews, case studies, feasibility studies, and the often overlooked function of competitor profiling (competitive intelligence).  These summaries provide librarians with a business perspective for the research context while providing business managers insight into the research framework.

The companion CD for this new book will allow you to electronically review this text and use the books’ forms – such as the business plan - on your PC. Thus, you can keep the print book as a reference guide and electronically distribute the completed forms as presentations to your staff.

And for something completely different...

Email Jokes: A Snapshot Anthology of the Internet

*Now for the Lighter Side........*

All work and no play? Well.....yes and no. We at Burkhardt Research Services are "all work" during business hours. Our business publications are a testament to the work we do. At the same time, we recognize that people "play" during their off hours. An occasional laugh can even be squeezed in at work - over the water cooler, at company parties, during the holidays, etc.

This book, "E-Mail Jokes: A Snapshot Anthology of the Internet," is a testament to that lighter side of life that we call "play." In fact, this book could serve as an office-appropriate gift for all occasions - holidays, birthdays, personal milestones, and retirements.

This pocketbook, intended to serve as light coffee table conversation for naval gazers, offers a passing glimpse at the emerging historical confluence of society and the internet. It is also intended to be a humorous keepsake for those of us who experienced the internet’s revolutionary contribution to how we communicate. The focus of this “coffee table pocketbook” is the approximate time period of 1996 – 2006. The introductory portion of the book provides a launch pad for group discussions about how society transitioned into e-mail usage as an every day means of communication. The balance of the book provides selected “keepsake jokes” that will help us reflect – in later years – upon this period of our social e-history.

This book provides readers a chance to laugh all over again at the jokes that had us chuckling the first time around. Great gift for birthdays, holidays, you name it! Printed in North America.
